Hello Maurice,

Gayo is an area in North Sumatra,
where one of the bloodiest wars took place against the Dutch.

While I usually tend to agree with you, I'd posit that it actually was the other way around...

Have a look at this thread. I've had a similar, of which the handle was made of hippo ivory.

Your "ex" is also special with that quite strongly curved hilt!

Regards,
